Chapter 2594: Everyone Has Their Own Difficulties in Life

Why the disdain?

Just because the original host, Lu Yueyun, only looked out for herself and didn’t help Lu Junning? Just because Lu Yueyun had a good marriage in her previous life?

Those were not reasons to consider her as an enemy.

Helping someone was a matter of friendship, while not helping someone was simply staying within one’s bounds.

Everyone has their own difficulties in life.

“Second Sister, hello,” Ning Shu greeted Lu Junning with a curtsy.

There was a difference between legitimate and non-legitimate children, and since she saw Lu Junning, she was obliged to pay her respects.

Lu Junning only gave a cold nod before walking into the gate.

Ning Shu didn’t mind Lu Junning’s attitude. She could do whatever she wanted.

As Lu Junning walked away, she suddenly turned around and asked Ning Shu, “What medicine did you buy?”

Ning Shu replied shyly, “It’s for treating stomach pain. It hurts every time.”

“I see,” Lu Junning nodded coldly before turning away. Ning Shu felt a bit puzzled but went back to her room.

Regardless of how Lu Junning and Lu Mingxuan fought, as long as they didn’t involve her, Ning Shu didn’t care. Strictly speaking, both Lu Junning and Lu Mingxuan had sabotaged Lu Yueyun and pushed her into a pit she couldn’t climb out of.

Ning Shu had Yuan Xiang help her simmer the medicine, then drank the bitter-ass concoction.

After having dinner and waiting for Yuan Xiang to fall asleep, Ning Shu started working with the other medicine she bought during the day.

She made knockout drugs, poison, and even put together some extra strong aphrodisiacs. It wasn’t like they were the only ones who knew how to use these things.

Because the people of this time knew the importance of reputation, they were extra eager to pour dirty water on others.

Seriously.

Ning Shu packed up the medicine she had prepared and kept some on her, just in case of an emergency.

On the second day, Ning Shu was punished again with hits on the hand. The reason was that her embroidery was too fugly.

Despite finishing an apple blossom, it looked nothing like a flower no matter how one looked at it.

Teacher Liu tried to find faults with Lu Junning as well, but since Lu Junning did very well, the criticism seemed forced.

Of the four, only Lu Mingxuan received Teacher Liu’s praise every time. However, she truly did do quite well.

Ning Shu felt that Mistress Yun was quite ambitious, and Lu Mingxuan also had very similar drives. They both strove for wealth and prosperity.

The third prince Shen Hao was also quite impressive. He had used both sisters from the Lu family to his advantage, executing one after he finished using her and supporting the other to become empress.

He was sure a master of the game.

When Lu Junning saw Teacher Liu praising Lu Mingxuan excessively, she made a scornful expression.

Ning Shu felt exhausted being in such an environment, facing the teacher’s criticism and the passive-aggressiveness of the two siblings.

Determined to avoid further punishments, Ning Shu decided to put extra effort into her embroidery. After class, she headed straight back to her courtyard.

“Third Sister,” a voice called out from behind.

It was Fourth Miss Lu Yujing. As she approached, she asked quietly, “Third Sister, can you help me memorize the books? I can teach you embroidery in return.”

Lu Yujing’s voice was barely audible. If Ning Shu didn’t listen carefully, she wouldn’t have been able to hear her clearly.

“Okay,” Ning Shu nodded.

She had planned on asking Mistress Liu for help with her embroidery, but since Lu Yujing had approached her, that worked as well.

However, the thought of Lu Yujing’s embroidery skills being better than hers…

“Shall we go to your courtyard or mine?” Ning Shu asked.

“Let’s go to your courtyard,” Lu Yujing said. Her own courtyard was too shabby.

Ning Shu agreed and led Lu Yujing to her room.
